Zesty Beef Tacos Recipe

Zesty Beef Tacos

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 1/4 pound(s) ground beef
• 2 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon(s) chili powder
• 2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• 1 can(s) (10- to 14.5-ounce) petite cut diced tomatoes with chiles
• 8 hard taco shells, warmed
• 8 leaves Boston or green leaf lettuce
• Fresh salsa, for serving
• Cheese, for serving
• Sour cream, for serving
• Lime wedges, for serving

Directions :

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes (and their juices) and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.
4. Line the taco shells with lettuce and fill with beef mixture. Top with salsa, cheese, and sour cream, if desired.

Tips & Techniques :

Great Idea: Use the lettuce leaves to line the taco shells. The filling will remain inside the taco even if the shell breaks.
